The Keysight/Agilent 86121A WDM Channel Analyzer is a Michelson interferometer-based instrument for measuring wavelength and optical power in the 1270 to 1650 nm range. It enables simultaneous measurements of mul...
Optical Spectrum Analyzers (OSAs) are precision instruments used to measure and analyze the power distribution of an optical signal across different wavelengths. They are essential in the fields of telecommunications, medical research, and laser technology for tasks such as testing, designing, and troubleshooting optical networks and components.
Consider the wavelength range, resolution bandwidth, dynamic range, and the type of display and interfaces available. Also, check if it meets the specific requirements of your application.
Ensure the OSA is packed in its original packaging or equivalent protective material. Use a reliable shipping service that handles delicate instruments and provides tracking and insurance.
Regularly clean the optical input connectors, keep the device in a dust-free environment, and perform periodic calibration as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure accuracy.
